Qatar to Host 24th World LP Gas Forum on Sept.26
Doha, September 12 (QNA)- Under the aegis of HE Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada, Minister of Energy & Industry and supported by Qatar International Petroleum Marketing Company Ltd (Tasweeq), Qatar is hosting the 24th World LP Gas Forum from September 26-29, 2011. The Forum is being held
The Forum is being held in the GCC Region for the first time and is titled Delivering a Future of Exceptional Energy encouraging countries to shift from high carbon producing fuels to LPG.
For his part, Chief Executive Officer, Tasweeq,Saad Al-Kuwari, said, "Over the years, the World LP Gas Forum has attained the reputation of being a foremost voice within the LPG Industry. It has gathered the expertise at attracting some of the world leaders from the LPG Industry to discuss and update the attendees of the trends and concerns faced by the world in relation to the LPG Sector."
Since, Qatar is the largest Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) producer in the world since 2010, the country s LPG output will also increase proportionally to approximately 11 million tonnes by the end of 2012, making Qatar one of the world s leading LPG exporting countries.
Al-Kuwari added, "The LPG Industry is set to scale newer heights with countries around the world realising the significance of adopting green energy. The World LP Gas Association (WLPGA) has constantly reached out to varied markets in both developed and developing countries, encouraging the shift to LPG. Qatar s strategic geographic location connects us with prime markets such as the Far East and the Indian Sub-Continent."
The Forum will be officially inaugurated by HE Dr. Al-Sada on September 27, 2011 at 9.00am in the presence of eminent personalities from Energy Sector. The Forum highlights are keynote speeches by Mr. John Corben from the International Energy Agency presenting on "The Golden Age of Gas , and Ms Karen Agustiawan, Pertamina.
